According to the data of the Sarawak Disaster Management Committee, Ting added that in the second phase of the National Recovery Plan, economic sectors such as barber, car wash shops and furniture stores are allowed to open, but they must still comply with the standard operating procedures required by the Sarawak local government and the Ministry of Housing ministry. In any case, the number of employees in the workplace, including management and operations employees, is still limited to 50%.

In the second stage, all coffee shops, restaurants and eating places are also allowed to eat in, provided that standard operating procedures are followed. He believed that the number of people allowed to eat in at the initial stage is small, but it is believed that as the number of confirmed cases continues to decline, the number of people eating in will gradually increase and standard operating procedures will be relaxed.

The gradual lifting of restrictions has also brought hope and encouragement to people, allowing people to see the dawn of the end of the epidemic and look forward to a carefree and normal life.

The people of Sarawak have devoted their time, energy, and even health to the stability of the people. In the past year and 6 months, they have been true heroes”, he added.
